Ok.. so.. the buttons (power, volume up and down) buttons stopped working a while ago, and it hasnt been an issue for me.. i just turn the display to turn off in 15 seconds and have the screen come on occasionally. But.. recently, my car stopped seeing the audio bluetooth (while still seeing phone bluetooth) so i had the bright idea to let the battery drain and "restart' my phone..... without thinking that the buttons dont work..
so now the phone is off and i cant get it to turn back on.
I downloaded adb, and tried to fastboot it, but my phone wont recognize the phone without "allowing" the computer to see it through the phone.. which is currently turned off..
Anyone have any ideas on how to get my phone back on without finally giving in and getting the buttons fixed?

Fastboot and ADB won't do any good if the device if off, permissions or not... all you can see is the Qloader mode which is useless on this device. I don't know of any way to "kick start" this device, or any other newer Moto device, to turn on without a button press. Sorry.

This is really strange but I put in my Wizard into my hibernation in my desk drawer for a couple of months and got it out again yesterday. When I went to turn it on I got nothing from it.
I then plugged it into my PC with no luck from the LEDs for charging. After hitting most of the buttons I here a USB noise from my computer and the device starts to sync! I then used True Connect screen share and to my surprise the device is fully active. I can't think why it's not working? Has anyone got any ideas?

my phone was working fine today listening to fmradio at work all day,then at the end of the day i notices i was low on battery so i turned off phone and put in my pocket,so i go to turn back on im in bootloader with no key responce or nuthing,i have ''S' OFF,and i need help anybody???????
So volume up and down don't move the cursor? And when you use the power button, it doesn't select what the cursor is on? Have you tried to pull the battery to turn the phone off and plug it in to get a full charge? What else have you tried?
stuck bootloader{ FIXED}
i took it apart,i workout side and debris got down in the volume rocker causing it to be consantly down,thank god thats all it was, i was worried for a min,thanks for a responce i think this is the best phone site ever,thanks again ronin!!!!
Glad you got it figured out and it was nothing major...
My D802 International just stopped working
I'm on stock 4.4.2 rooted with ioroot
I left it to charge for a few hours and when i got back phone wouldnt turn on. LED lights seem to blink in the same pattern that occurs when turning the phone on when I hold the power button. But otherwise I have no response from the screen, rendering the phone useless
Another weird thing is when i plug the phone into my laptop, it gets detected but when I try to check out the files on explorer the only folders that show up are my pictures/DCIM folder. No system files or anything
I'd appreciate any advice
I've got a strange problem with my Sprint Galaxy Note 3.
What's happening is that randomly when I hit the power to turn the screen back on, it will do nothing then the screen will stay blank. The phone clearly still works because if I'm on a call or listening to music it will still keep playing and the volume and other buttons continue to work.
When that happens I hold down the power to turn the phone off and then on and it boots up normally.
Rarely what will happen is the same behavior except the screen will go strangely green after I hit the power button, making the phone unusable until an off/on.
This happens sometimes multiple times a day, sometimes days without happening.
Phone is rooted, running OC5 on Android 5.0. Problem has been happening for months. Haven't made any system upgrades or installed any major apps so that isn't it. I'm thinking it is some kind of loose pin/wire but don't want to crack the phone open without a plan.
Any help appreciated!

My power button has stopped responding!
Phone has fallen a few times, so that obviously must be why.
The phone is on right now, and I've set the phone to "Always On Display" because if the screen times out, there's no way to turn the screen back on, unless I call my phone, at least, not that I know of.
I've gone into Developer Mode and turned on USB Debugging.
Now, given that this is a hardware issue, which I know nothing about, and that there are lockdown restrictions in my hood, at the moment, I'm unable to get the phone checked.
So, can you savvy power users (pun not intended) please help me with how to turn the phone on and off without a working power button?
Can I connect my phone the PC and do it like that?
Or can I enter into boot menu without using the power button? (I haven't checked out how to get into recovery mode on this device.)
Just looking for a temporary way to turn the phone on and off, and find an alternative to the power button, until I can get the power button checked.
I can't even turn the screen off so it's draining my battery like crazy!
Thanks for reading, brothers!
Hope someone can help me out!
Cheers.

Double tap on the screen does not activate the display?
There are some options in accessibility settings. Maybe there you will find a feature that can help a little bit.
